Rushing and Receiving Trends
Kyren Williams leads his team in fantasy points and is on pace for 230 carries, 1,250 yards and 13 touchdowns. His receiving role has grown with 16 catches for 137 yards on 20 targets over the past two weeks. He now projects toward 89 receptions and 735 yards after 25 targets in four games.
Wide Receiver Breakouts
Jameson Williams has 16 receptions for 229 yards and zero touchdowns through four weeks, averaging 9.7 fantasy points per game. He is on a slower start than last season when he posted 12.9 points per game. After a slow five-game stretch last year with just 11 catches, he added six touchdowns later.
Tight End Depth and QB Caution
Brock Bowers has scored 27.6 and 20.6 points in his two games back. Michael Mayer leads his team with 20 receptions and is on pace for 85 catches on 102 targets while playing heavy snaps. Drake Maye posted 26.16 points in a recent win but added three fumbles and an interception. His schedule turns tougher, and his supporting cast remains limited.
